Terms of Service

By commissioning work or using this website you agree to these terms. Where a signed proposal or master services agreement exists, that document prevails over any conflicting provision here.

The Studio provides bottle shaping, cap CMF specification, packaging structure and artwork preparation, and sprayer engineering. The precise deliverables, milestones and fees for each engagement are set out in a written proposal. Work outside that proposal is quoted separately before it begins.

You agree to supply accurate fill volumes, formulation characteristics, quantities, supplier capability data and timely feedback. Programme dates shift by the length of any delay in approvals or in the delivery of client-supplied materials.

Each design phase includes two rounds of revision unless the proposal states otherwise. Additional rounds, or a change of direction after a phase has been approved in writing, are charged at the studio rate stated in the proposal.

Unless stated otherwise, 40% of the fee is invoiced at commencement, 30% at technical release and 30% on delivery of final files. Invoices are payable within 14 days. Late amounts may carry interest at the statutory rate applicable in [Jurisdiction]. Fees are exclusive of taxes, tooling costs, sample production and shipping.

The Studio retains ownership of all concepts, drawings and files until the final invoice is paid in full. On payment, ownership of the approved design and its production documentation transfers to the client. Concepts not selected, along with the Studio’s pre-existing methods, libraries and templates, remain the property of the Studio.

The Studio may display approved work in its portfolio and publications after the product is publicly launched, unless the proposal records a written embargo or confidentiality restriction.

The Studio designs for manufacture but does not manufacture. Contracts for glass, caps, pumps, print and assembly are concluded directly between the client and those suppliers. The Studio is not liable for supplier lead times, tooling defects, yield or price changes.

The Studio warrants that services are performed with the skill and care reasonably expected of a professional design practice, and that deliverables are its original work or properly licensed. No warranty is given that a design will achieve any particular commercial result.

To the maximum extent permitted in [Jurisdiction], the Studio’s aggregate liability arising from an engagement is limited to the fees paid for that engagement. The Studio is not liable for indirect or consequential loss, including lost profit, lost sales or recall costs. Nothing limits liability that cannot be limited by law.

Each party keeps the other’s confidential information secret and uses it only for the engagement. This obligation continues for five years after the engagement ends, and indefinitely for formulation data.

Either party may terminate on 14 days’ written notice, or immediately for material breach that remains uncured after 14 days. On termination the client pays for work performed and commitments made up to that date.

These terms are governed by the laws of [Jurisdiction], and the courts of [Jurisdiction] have exclusive jurisdiction over disputes, without prejudice to any mandatory consumer protection rules.
